It was SO good to not have work or anything to worry about. We did so much shopping for baby Landon ( and maybe a thing or two...or three for ourselves). Ty didn't enjoy the shopping as much but he did get into picking out fabric for the quilt my mom is going to make for the crib, which was pretty funny! My mom bought us a stroller and a car seat for our shower gift and the day we picked it out in target was hilarious. My mom had us take down the strollers that were on display to test them out and see which one we liked. Once we found one she had us open it and close it so we weren't stuck in a parking lot one day with a screaming baby and a dis functional stroller. We'll turns out we're the dis functional ones. The stroller said easy close. You pull a strap and bam! It's closed. Weeelllll.......when it came time to open it back up, we didn't quite get it. We tugged and pulled and tried everything for literally 15 minutes and as we were about to go grab a target worker we found it. The open function on the stroller was a big red handle.......how we missed that I don't know. But the best part was trying to get the big box in the car. My mom had an Altima for her rental car and there was no way the box was fitting in. Well, it also happened to be a hurricane in Idaho that day so battling the winds we had to take the stroller out of the box and break the box down all while keeping things from blowing away. Yeah...we got some looks in the parking lot.
We also did a little crafting because I really wanted to make a banner for the baby's room to go above his crib. Thank goodness for porters,because we were able to make a super cute banner that will go perfectly with the patterns on the quilt my mom is making.
We scheduled a doctors appointment for when my mom was here so she could see Landon and just be there to experience some part of this pregnancy with me! Well this appointment was the glucose test and man was it gross! I don't eat a lot of sugar and so having to drink a bottle of it made me want to vomit. I wanted the test done ASAP so I could eat something before the sugar drink came back up. I literally felt like I was on a sugar high...I was shaking and getting a headache. Luckily I passed and didn't have to sit through that again. But after that looking at anything with sugar made me queezy.
Then to end the week we had my baby shower! I am so glad my mom was here for that. It was so nice to have everyone there to come and show their love for this baby boy! He definitely got spoiled and got some dang cute outfits. One of my favorite things Landon got was his blessing outfit made by a really close family friend(basically family). It about melted my heart when I took it out of the bag. She didn't even have to make it, and she went out of her way to make a beautiful outfit that I can't wait to put him in come august! But I truly am grateful for everyone that sent gifts and that came to the shower Ty and I (and Landon) appreciate all the gifts, love and support.
After such a fun week, my mom had to go home and Ty and I got ready to start another semester. This first week has been pretty good so far. I'm just glad I only have one more then I'm home free in December! I am so glad that Ty decided to go on fast track so we could be done with schooling faster. He works so hard and I appreciate all the work he does!
For a little update on the little one: Landon is one pound now! He moves more and more everyday. The past couple of days I felt like he was trying to come out of my belly button....like literally he would push a limb so hard against my stomach i thought he was coming out. But other than that I love being able to push on my stomach and feel exactly where he is. I can't believe he will be here in just a couple of months. I can't wait to meet him! (But Landon, you're not allowed to come during finals week....or else your grounded). Tyson gets so excited sigh all the baby stuff in the house it makes me so happy. I can't wait for him to hold this baby for the first time!
Anyways, that's our update for now. Hopefully more exciting stuff happens so we can keep this blog thing going strong!
Love: Ty, jess and Landon
